“… I just wanted to say thank you. I have been thoroughly enjoying the course and have found it very useful. I don’t want it to end so soon! It has been so affirming to have the topics and concepts that I have been thinking about and trying to research presented in a well-rounded and accessible way. Also to connect with others who care about this area, as it can be isolating. It has definitely helped give me some more perspective about how to sustainably manage my ‘practice map’.”
